In the more than 30 years since the drug court model transformed
the criminal justice landscape, problem-solving courts have
expanded their reach beyond criminogenic needs. They now address
demographic similarities (e.g., veterans courts, tribal wellness
courts, community courts) and offense characteristics (e.g.,
prostitution courts, sex offender courts). The rapid expansion of
problem-solving courts to meet many different individuals suggests
this template is appropriate and adaptable to just about any
categorical characteristic. This book calls on problem-solving
court experts to offer a fresh perspective on the evolving
discourse on these courts' proliferation. Contributors describe
diverse applications of the problem-solving court model while
critically appraising these niche courts' evidence. This book
provides a comprehensive account to date of how problem-solving
courts are continuing to revolutionize justice. This collective
body of work strengthens our understanding of their placement in
the throes of a call for meaningful criminal justice reform.Taking
Problem-Solving Courts to Scale is presented in three sections to
address specialty courts focused on criminogenic needs, individual
characteristics, and offense characteristics. At the outset of each
section, the editors describe the courts' purpose falling under
these broad categories and highlight key elements from the chapters
falling within.
Medical advances prolong life. They also sometimes prolong
suffering. Should we protect life or alleviate suffering? This
dilemma formed the foundation for a powerful right-to-die movement
and a counterbalancing concern over an emerging culture of death.
What are the qualities of a life worth living? Where are the
boundaries of tolerable suffering? This book is based on a hugely
popular undergraduate course taught at the University of Texas, and
is ideal for those interested in the social construction of social
worth, social problems, and social movements. This book is part of
a larger text, Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Decides?,

This short text, ideal for Social Problems and Criminal Justice
courses, examines the American prison system, its conditions, and
its impact on society. Wehr and Aseltine define the prison
industrial complex and explain how the current prison system is a
contemporary social problem. They conclude by using California as a
case study, and propose alternatives and alterations to the prison
system.

Roe v. Wade came like a bolt from the blue, but support had been
building for years. For many, the idea that life in the womb was
not fully protected under the Constitution was simply not
acceptable. Political campaigns were organized and protests
launched, including the bombing of clinics and the killing of
abortion providers. Questions about the protection and support of
life continued after birth. This book is based on a hugely popular
undergraduate course taught at the University of Texas, and is
ideal for those interested in the social construction of social
worth, social problems, and social movements. This book is part of
